Body cleanse

Posted by tuckerp @tuckerp, Jul 4 12:33pm

I feel like the last few years with PMR and life after prednisone, that my body needs a cleanse. I do daily fasting of about 12hrs. But I still feel like I am plugged up. Anyone ever had a liver cleanse? Results?

By feeling like you are plugged up do you mean constipated? I haven't read much about liver cleanse but I think I might want to run any supplements involved by my doctor or pharmacist. There are a few members who have posted about a liver cleanse that might be helpful to read what they have shared. Here's a link to the search results - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=%22liver+cleanse%22.

Thank you. I made pretty much unscathed until about 68. My stress level has increased due to my caregiver function. I had prostate cancer. Then came PMR with its collection of leftover conditions. I found out I had a blocked carotid. My gastritis after PMR has increased and found out I have a hiatal hernia. I have never been one to take medications. Now I have gastric issues, BP issues, Cholesterol, A1C, prostate, and just an overall feeling of fatigue. I exercise daily. That helps. I am handling stress pretty well by tuning everything else out. My diet could use work but I am not over weight. I fast daily. Just a thought whether a cleanse actually works. So by plugged up I mean like an old car that needs some work.
